I'm really proud of several pieces of work throughout my career, if I can toot my own horn for a minute. 💡
• Developed and deployed a global, enterprise-wide Leadership Development program in partnership with Droste Group. We are continuing to refine and reimagine the program and I'm excited for the next iteration because it might be the best one yet!
• Created and launched a monthly video series featuring career journey's of employees. Angela, spotlighted below, is one of our recent employees to share her journey. The videos serve as a reminder that development is up to each person and there is no single way to find success and grow when you take accountability for your own path.
• And, one of the unexpected things that brings me joy recently is being part of a team responsible for the content creation of our company LinkedIn page. This isn't a bullet in my job description, but it's also one of the best things about working at La-Z-Boy. There are so many opportunities to fall in love with work that aren't "in my job description". Using my undergrad in Communications (for the first time 😄), this allows me to flex my creative muscles and work with folks I might not otherwise. You know, the things you end up wanting to work on when the real work becomes overwhelming or too hard? This is that, exactly. I'm thankful I was asked to participate, as it's been very rewarding.🌱
There are many other really cool things I've gotten to lead or participate in over the course of 10+ years in Talent Development/Talent Management. And, I'm sure there will be many more opportunities in the next 10 years. And then, after that, I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to retire early (JK...maybe. Isn't that a dream we all have? 🤭).
Meet Angela Anderson, our Director of Business Process Optimization for Finance and Accounting Systems. During her 26-year career at La-Z-Boy Incorporated, Angela has held several positions across different departments with varying responsibilities. She used her experience and expertise to find the right career path for her.
Reflecting on her journey, Angela said, "I have stayed at La-Z-Boy due to the great number of opportunities that have presented themselves to me over my years here. The ability to grow my family while growing my career was really near and dear to me. Don’t be afraid to take a risk and seize the opportunities.”
Thank you, Angela, for your inspirational leadership and the impact you’ve made on our organization!
